Location
The French capital’s economic centre, where most of the private banks have their head offices, is located between the 8th arrondissement’s city hall and the Saint Augustin church. It was Georges-Eugène Haussmann, better known as Baron Haussmann, who transformed Paris in the Second Empire era, at the behest of Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte. On his return from London following his exile between 1846 and 1848, the emperor decided to transform Paris into a city as prestigious as the British capital. The green spaces, such as Parc Monceau, and the wide avenues, on which this building was erected, gave old Paris, with its narrow streets and winding alleys, a modern look The area is well linked to the public transport network, thanks to the Saint Augustin Metro station on line 9 just 300 metres away and Gare Saint Lazare railway station only 500 metres away.
Description
The building, which was built in 1864, is typically Haussmannian, with a carefully sculpted, light-coloured, ashlar façade. The entrance to the building can be reached via two carriage gates, which accentuate the edifice’s symmetry. Inside, columns boasting Corinthian capitals magnify the splendour of the entrances to the stairwells and large, paved courtyard, around which stand the various parts of the building. Opposite the entrance, there is part of the building boasting an entrance equipped with a glazed door and intercom. The majestic entrance hall possesses beige marble flooring, stucco columns, brass lanterns and a large, grey marble staircase. On the second floor, via the staircase or elevator, the apartment can be reached through a tall, double-leaf door, which opens into a vast entrance hall. The high ceilings are typical of the noble levels of Haussmannian buildings. The period décor, boasting stucco, mouldings, cornices, tall windows with casement bolts, marble fireplaces and Herringbone oakwood flooring heighten the overall feeling of elegance. The nine rooms, which are currently used as offices, could be rearranged by future occupants in accordance with their desires. Four rooms overlook the courtyard of the building, while the five others overlook the garden located to the rear of the condominium. Thanks to permission being obtained from the condominium association, a small courtyard could be covered, gaining around ten square meters of space. The entire apartment is equipped with air conditioning and gas central heating.
Our opinion
This spacious apartment on the noble floors of a remarkable ashlar building boasting elegant communal areas is situated in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, which is the part of the French capital most emblematic of Haussmannian architecture, between Place de la Madeleine and Parc Monceau, in the heart of the business district, which is the veritable epicentre of French economic power. The peaceful setting, between the courtyard and garden, provides plenty of discretion. The impressive ceiling heights and vast rooms make this a luxurious reception apartment. In its current guise, it is used as prestigious offices and could also serve as a very comfortable workspace for its future occupants.
